my boyfriend of 1 1/2 is leaving on a fishing trip for 18 days,i will have little contact with him due to him having no reception on the boat(hes going down past the equator). if im lucky he might call once or twice. I have no clue on how to get through those 18 days without him.Im so used to being able to call him whenever and im so used to him calling and saying goodnight..Ive never gone through something like this before and i need help or suggestions on how to get through this..thanks~!

Okay, this might sound ridiculous but if you're really in love, you could prepare 18 letters for each other to be read on each day that you're apart! Make it a rule not to open them until a particular hour of the day (might have to synchronize a watch with his time zone or something). I know how it feels. My boyfriend (now my husband) went to the armed forces for three weeks training and we were petrified of being apart. We did this and we also got matching tattoos as a symbolic bond between us (yes I know how mushy that sounds). Anyway, like I said, if you're really in love with each other, you'll find a way to cope! Good Luck!

Girl, i have been in your situation before. Something that is so normal to have is suddenly gone for a period of time and it needs getting used to. Of course it will be hard but what you can do is, fill up your time. Go out with friends..start a hobby like gardening..sewing..or start a picture jugsaw puzzle and frame it up..preferably, do one for ur bf so that when he returns,you can surprise him with him...another suggestion is do some arts and crafts around the house..like redecorating an old lamp...rug..etc..
Have faith that he is safe and pray for his safe journey too..When he calls, be happy that he did and in time, 18 days will go by in a flash!...good luck!

You could write him letters or e-mails. Even if he is too far away to revieve or send them, writing them when you get lonely might help you express yourself when you are unable to speak to him...especially at night.
Even though he's probably your best friend, try to keep yourself busy and make lunch dates and plans with other friends or family.
The little break might actually be good for both of you and when he comes back you'll both realize how much you love and need eachother. Good luck :)

i'm sorry this befell. i'm a be sure yet my handle this could be a sprint diverse. Your mom would not understand that with the aid of forcing you to stay aside she would be in a position to in basic terms make him seem each and all the greater constructive and the two one in all you will come across a thank you to be mutually. which will in all probability require mendacity and it will reason you to resent her too. i'm particular she has your ultimate pastimes at heart and is afraid that on the grounds that he's older he would communicate you into issues which at the instant are not solid on your destiny. you particularly would desire to end your coaching and be lots older formerly questioning approximately any long term committment. communicate together with her and examine out to look point headed and with a bit of luck she would be in a position to alter her ideas. If she make it easier to date him for 2 years he makes particularly no experience to refuse to make it easier to notice him now.

i kno the feeling but do stuff to keep you busy. If u trust him then you shouldn't have any issues. just know that he will be thinking about you just like you will be thinking about him. This will be a good time to do stuff for yourself and take a break. I kno it's hard but u can do it. When you see each other again it will be love all over again.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but you know what? Just take this as a struggle for you to get through. Think of it as a reassurance that you can live without your boyfriend even if it's just for 18 days.

Well mabey this is good for you.At times you need a little distance expecially if you are attached.Just take time to hang out with your friends and when you really miss him the look at pictures and think about how much he loves you and you love him.

1) keep yourself busy by not staying at home, but rather getting together with friends.
2) make some kind of project for yourself (maybe try building something out of wood!)
3) if all else fails......go shmoke some weed!
blahhhh! =P

awwwwww. i feel soo sorry for you. I can jsut imagine how hard this is gonna be for you. i know i couldnt do it.
Umm when my bf left for a week, whenever i missed him i would look at the pics of us, listen to "our" songs, and watch the movies that rememined me of him. Plus I jsut kinda would try and spend alot of tiem wiht my girlfriends and get him off my mind (It was really hard!! lol)
Good luck. and dont worry the time will fly<333

you can still send emails (he'll just have to read them once he gets back) and it'll be a good way for him see/read what you were going through and missing him so much during those 18 days.
